Ways to reduce Fibro symptoms that I can do on my own?

I can only tell you what works for me.  I use these bed buddies that you microwave and gives moist heat.  I bought them at Kohls.  I use two and heat them up about 2 or 3 minutes and I put one around my neck and the other on my spine.  They really help a lot with pain. I also take hot Epsom salt baths. The only drug I currently take for fibromyalgia is Flexeril which is a muscle relaxer and I only take one at bedtime.  It also helps with sleep. I do take vitamins also, fish oil, magnesium, calcium, B complex, multi-vitamin, Vit D and C.  I hope it helps you.

Hallie- there are several things you can do to manage your fibro. One of the biggest thing is limit your stress. Stress will set off fibro big time. Sometimes making some lifestyle changes help too. This means looking the amt. of hrs. you work, sleeping habits, eating habits and the amount of exercise you get.

I do the following to keep my fibro regulated. Heat, rest when I can, limit stress, eat healthy, light exercise, vitamin D, magnesium, calcium, remron and subutex for pain.

Try not to get discourage to quickly because it does take weeks sometimes to get good results from things I mention.
